Personal Score - 8/10
If you want to play a great mix of Hack and Slash and Strategy combined with RPG elements set in a fantasy world this game is for you! It's a super underrated OG Xbox game that came out in October 2004 and It's still super fun to play even today :)


Pros (+)

- Very good PC Port (No FPS drop or graphic bugs in my experience)
- A great mix of Hack and Slash and Strategy combined with RPG elements.
- Wide variety of units, each offering a different gameplay approach
- You can play with 3 different armies (Humans, Orcs, Elves)
- You can customize every soldier and main characters with weapons and armors and they change ingame
- Keyboard and Xbox controller support
- Memorable characters design
- Music
- Mods

Cons (-)

- The game looks and feels a bit outdated nowadays but mods will probably fix this :)
- Dialogues and story forgettable
- The camera ingame can be infuriating, slow rotations and can be blocked by environmental clutter.
- Shaky cam during cutscenes
- AI of allied units is dumb
- Maps with massive difficulty spikes
- Your units can sometime get stuck or run in circles after having received an order
- Minimap is bad and sometimes can hinder some UI/HUD elements
- Enclabossa monsters are the most boring/unfun thing ever :/
